On the mantel there was a tall vase filled with the dried stems of flowers.

And then came the most amazing discovery of all.

There was a second table between the lamp and the bed, and it was set for two! Yes, for _two_! No, for _three_! For, a little in shadow, David saw a crudely made high-chair--a baby's chair--and on it were a little knife and fork, a baby spoon, and a little tin plate.

It was astounding.

Perfectly incredible.
